Story here. Excerpt:
'In a significant pronouncement on family matters, the Delhi High Court has ruled that a woman earning sufficient income is not entitled to maintenance from her estranged husband.
The logic for alimony is given in a Supreme Court ruling, which says that a woman is entitled to maintenance if her personal income is insufficient to maintain the standard of living she was accustomed to while living with her husband.'

This sounds like remarkable
This sounds like remarkable levels of common sense... I wonder how many women will 'suddenly' become unemployed upon divorce...
